"Tommy Marques became one of the talking points of Barcelona's recent win over Mallorca as he made his first-team debut. A defensive midfielder by trade, Marques appeared as a late substitute, playing the final six minutes of the game. However, as things stand, it wasn't a one-off, and it seems Barcelona have plans with Marques as the club once again look at La Masia to fill the gaps."
"As reported by The Touchline, Marques will continue with the first team following his La Liga debut against Mallorca this weekend. It appears the player enjoys much support from Barcelona coach Hansi Flick, who 'loves' the young defensive midfielder. Flick wants to keep monitoring the youngster closely as the club want to make him the next 'Dro', who made headlines last month by leaving Barcelona and joining Paris Saint-Germain."
Tommy Marques made his La Liga debut, appearing as a late substitute for the final six minutes of Barcelona's win over Mallorca. Barcelona plans to continue integrating Marques with the first team after the debut. Coach Hansi Flick 'loves' the young defensive midfielder and intends to monitor him closely. Marques is tactically versatile and technically gifted enough to fit Flick's system. The club views him as a La Masia prospect to help fill gaps following 'Dro's departure. Strong competition from Marc Casado, Frenkie de Jong and Marc Bernal means game time is not guaranteed, making a second-half breakthrough uncertain.
